I changed the bug status back to "confirmed" (I didn't know that I can
actually do that) because currently on Karmic there is no notification
that any action is required - there isn't even an "OK" or "Close" button
on the language selector!
Also notably in Karmic a reboot is only needed if the "For everyone at
startup and login" language is changed, otherwise only a logout and
login is needed.
Use case:
1. User wants to change their langauge
2. User accesses System->Administration->Language Support
3. User changes "For my menus and windows use:" menu to some other language
...? No obvious way is offered to continue
What currently happens is:
4. user closes the window
5. No change is apparent
6. Some times after that the user logs out
7. User logs in and the new language is active
What I expect to happen is:
4. User presses "Close" (or closes the window with the X button, though a
"Close" button is a much better case)
5. A new message dialog appears that lets the user know if they need to logout
(only "my menus and windows" changed) or reboot ("everyone at start and login"
changed) and offers to take that action or continue normally and logout/restart
later.
6. User either accepts a restart or logout from the dialog, or continues
normally and restarts or logouts later
7. User logs back in and the new language is active.
